Trades for 5-20-08, and 5-21-08

Sorry about not posting yesterday (5-20-08) but it was a really crappy day. I had been up .84% until my dad got me into PEIX for a -4.56% loss :(. To make a long story short, I lost 3.72% in total for yesterday. So now I am no longer trading with my dad until I have more capital to work with.

Today (5-21-08) I was up .51% on 4 trades (2 long 2 short) with 2 gains, 1 flat, and 1 loss. Trades are:

CSUN – Long (+.32%) (+$59.68):


APOL – Short (+.04%) (+$9.20): After holding on for about 2 hours of flatness I exited because it was driving me nuts!


A – Long (-.27%) (-$68.45): I did not wait for the bar to close above $36.20 so because it closed below $36.20 I exited saving myself from further loss


MBI – Short (+.51%) (+$127.50): I should have kept my stop-gain at $8.41

Trades for 5-19-08

Today I felt weird, kind of tired and run down psychically and mentally. Looks like I may have got a smaller version of my dad’s cold.

Trades for 5-16-08

Today was finally an up day (+.71%)! Had 5 trades, all longs, 2 loss 3 wins. For the week I’m down -.29% :(. One thing I learned today is I need to stop 2nd guessing myself and just go for it. My dad helped me today on the 1st 3 trades, the last 2 were all me. Oh and by the way, I've been using a new strategy sence yesterday (as you can see from the charts).

SOLF - Long (+1.09%) (+$282.38): Had to thank my dad for getting me in on this one


SOLF - Long (-.68%) (-$176): My dad wanted to stay in and I talked him out of it.

5-13-08 trades

Today I was a big chicken. To nervous during the morning which caused me to not enter on some trades that I should have entered on. Had I not been nervous today I would have made money :*(.

Total for today was -.14% on 2 trades. Both were longs, 1 loss 1 gain. Had one 10M trade, and one 1M trade. My trades were:

SNDK: Stopped out


FLR: I should have played a trailing stop on this, I got out where I did becasue I was scared of loosing more money.


Weather sucked today, lots more snow again :*(. I wish it would stop or at least turn into rain.

My trades for the day

For my 1st blog post I will just give you a very short story of my day. My further blogs will be mostly the same as this.

Only had 2 trades today, both were on AIG. The trades are as follows:

Had my alert on 10M fire, and the stock had closed below support so I entered short:


My entry price was $40.76:


While in the trade I switched to 1M because I had seen support forming on the level 2 quotes. I exited at $40.60 for a .31% profit:


My 2nd trade:

Looking at 1M charts I stumbled upon this:


So I entered @ $40.71:


Shortly there after I was stopped out:
